Calling a Function from another Function within CFC

Hi all,
I have many functions in my CFC that do various things, but
one query is a query that selects absolutely every record from a
table.
The thing is, I need to do a query like this in another
function to obtain only a recordcount of the same table used in
both separate functions. Instead of writing the query out again,
how can I utilise the function already written?
My question is, how can I invoke and use the results of a
query in one cffunction for another cffunction in the same CFC
component?
An example may look like the code attached...
Many thanks for your patience and help!
Mikey.

exactly what you do outside a cfc.
For your specific case, if your requirements permit it, you
might consider caching the big query for a couple of seconds. Then
you can continously call the function and not have to wait for it
to run and bring back the data each time.
Do you mean to say that within a CFC function I can execute
the same cfinvoke tags I use in normal CFM pages?

How do i call a Function from another Function ?

When i press a button, i want a series of functions to execute one after another (they contain tweens, but its irrelevant), each of them waiting for the previous to be completed. I want to put the series of functions inside one function, so i can call just this function to execute all the others. The animations are working fine, but i dont know how call Functions from within another function. Also it would be necessary each function to wait until the previous has completed, to execute. Here is a clear example of what i need to do:
boton.onPress = animate ;
Function animate () {
     animation1 (onComplete: animation2);
     animation2 (onComplete: animation3);
     animation3 ;
Function animation1 () { Tween 1};
Function animation2 () { Tween 2};
Function animation3 () { Tween 3};
any suggestions ?

I'd do something like this:
boton.onPress = animation1 ;
Function animation1 () {
     var Tween1 = new Tween();
    Tween1.onComplete = animation2;
Function animation2 () {
     var Tween2 = new Tween();
     Tween2.onComplete = animation3;
Function animation3 () {
     var Tween3 = new Tween();

Calling an OA Function from another function

Hi,
I need to create a link in a function that calls another function.
I've created a new Item 'Static Styled Text' writing in the destination URL 'OA.jsp?OAFunc=FUNCTION_NAME&pPersonID=&pFromMenu=Y'.
I am able to connect to the Function but the person_id parameter passed is not the right one.
To be clear I'll write down an example. I am a super user and in FUNCTION A I query an employee and enter in the function. Subsequently I click on the link I've created to view this employees information in FUNCTION B. Instead it queries my information, passing my person_id.
Can someone help?
thanks

You would need to get hold of the person id of the employee you queried, this may be a VO attribute
Once you get the person Id, you would need to set the URLs parameter value to this value.
so the URL when you are in the next pahe would look like
http://<server:port>/../OA.jsp?OAFunc=FUNCTION_NAME&pPersonID=<the value you passed>&pFromMenu=Y
Thanks

Problems calling a function from another function

Hello all.
I am trying to create a function that will loop a few other function.
Basically the main function is this
                    private function publish(event:MouseEvent):void
                        if (doPublish.label == 'Publish')
                            // create a new NetStream object for video publishing
                            nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);
                            nsPublish.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, nsPublishOnStatus);
                            // set the buffer time to zero since it is chat
                            nsPublish.bufferTime = 0;
                            // publish the stream by name
                            nsPublish.publish(publishName.text);
                            // add custom metadata to the stream
                            var metaData:Object = new Object();
                            metaData["description"] = "Chat using VideoChat example."
                            nsPublish.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", metaData);
                            // attach the camera and microphone to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(camera);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone);
                            doPublish.label = 'Stop';
                        else
                            // here we are shutting down the connection to the server
                            nsPublish.attachCamera(null);
                            nsPublish.attachAudio(null);
                            nsPublish.publish("null");
                            nsPublish.close();
                            doPublish.label = 'Publish';
I am then trying to call that function like this
            protected function startloop():void {
                publish(event);
But i get the error Access of undefined property event.
Any ideas on how i can call this function ? I need to call it as part of a loop against a timer..
Thanks in advance

Function Invoking Another Function

Trying to invoke 1 function from another function, using same parameters for each.
Trying to invoke 1 function from another function. MasterFunction has parameterX which is a dictionary Name. When attempting to call ChildFunction from within MasterFunction, and passing it the same parameter that MasterFunction has, got javascript error 'Invalid Object'.
Here is basic scenario:
MasterFunction(dictionaryName)
ChildFunction(dictionaryName);
Both of these functions are in the JavaScript function list.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

You need to pass the dictionary object, not the dictionary name. So you would pass in a parameter of "serviceForm.DictName", which is the dictionary object. Then, if your parameter name was "objDict", you would call methods against it, for example: "objDict.setVisible(false);" and "objDict.FieldName.getValue();"
If, for some reason, you do need or want to pass a string of the dictionary name, you need to use the "eval" method to get the dictionary object back: eval("serviceForm." + dictString + ".FieldName.getValue()");

Call a function from another software

hello,
Iam working on a program where i have to invoke a function from another software, is there any way i can do that? someone told me that i can use RMI to invoke the function but it seems to me like RMI is mainly for networked and distributed systems. any suggestions? i have an idea in my mind, if the software is programmed using c/c++ i can use the native coding to access the functions, well this is only a blind shot, not sure about it.
asrar

Hey asrar,
It is possible to call external programs from within the JVM. You need to do the following:
Process p = java.lang.Runtime.getInstance().exec("some.exe");
You can then do the following:
p.waitFor();
This will block until the process returns.
The Process class gives you access to 3 streams.
p.getInputStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stdout.
p.getErrorStream(); returns a stream that the process sends to stderr.
p.getOutputStream(); returns a stream that allows you to send data to the process.
That is basically all you get.

How to you refer to a function in another function in a cfc

HI,
How to you refer to a function in another function in a cfc like so
<cffunction name="getApplicationConstants" access="remote" returntype="struct">
         <cfset flash.result.users = [the result from the getUsers function]>
    <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="getUsers" access="remote" returntype="query">
        <cfquery name="q" datasource="#datasource#">
            select     c.*
            from    USERS as c    WHERE looksLikeUserIsDeleted = 'False'
            AND userPrivileges = 1
            ORDER BY fullName
        </cfquery>
        <cfset flash.result = q>
        <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>

Hi, Nikos,
If the CFCs are in the same directory, you could do the following:
CFCA
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getApplicationConstants" access="remote" returntype="struct">
    <cfset flash.result.users = cfcB.getUsers() />
    <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
CFCB
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="getUsers" access="remote" returntype="query">
        <cfquery name="q" datasource="#datasource#">
            select     c.*
            from    USERS as c    WHERE looksLikeUserIsDeleted = 'False'
            AND userPrivileges = 1
            ORDER BY fullName
        </cfquery>
        <cfset flash.result = q>
        <cfreturn flash.result>
</cffunction>
<cfcomponent>
If the CFCs were in different directories, the cfset expression in CFCA would be this:
<cfset flash.result.users = path.to.cfc.cfcB.getUsers() />
Where I have path.to.cfc, you would use either a mapping from CF Admin or the hierarchy of folders to the CFC from the web root.
Does that help?

Call .xhtml file from javascript function

Hi,
Is there a way to call .xhtml page from javascript function???

BalusC wrote:
Yes there are some ways. But this question has nothing to do with JSF and certainly not with Java at all. Javascript is an entirely different language, although it has a similar syntax as Java (and unforunately also a similar name, they should never have renamed it from ECMAScript).I think ECMAScript is a renaming from JavaScript. The originally JavaScript was called LiveScript by Netscape. I've heard that the ECMAScript name was deliberately chosen to be unsexy.

Calling java APIs from a function module

Hi,
Can someone tell me whether it is possible to call Java APIs from a function module in SAP system?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I guess you have changed the properties of screen only.
I assume you have made a Ztransaction Code.
When you define a transaction code, you need to specify a screen number for radio option program and screen and you need to specify a screen and not subscreen.( I think so!!)
You changed only the code without changing the transaction code properties.
Therefore, i think u r getting a dump.
If you want to call your subscreen, call it in some screen and then call that screen using your transaction code properties.
To include a subscreen screen in the subscreen area of the main screen and call its PBO flow logic, use the following statement in the PBO event of the main screen:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN <area> INCLUDING <prog> <dynp>.
To call the PAI flow logic of the subscreen screen, use the following statement in the PAI flow logic of the main screen:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN <area>.

How to call a servlet from another servlet

hi everybody,
i have a problem, i have to call one servlet from another one.
Everything works on my pc, but when i install the application on the customer's server i got an error about an Uknown URL followed by the name of the machine.
Wjat i do is the folloqing :
String urlString = request.getScheme()+"://"+request.getServerName()+":"+request.getServerPort()+"/"+servletName;
URL url = new URL(urlString);
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
the variable servletName is the name of the servlet i have to call.
Is there another way to call the servlet ?
All the servlet are installed in the same server.
Any suggestion ?
Cheers.
Stefano

Sweep is correct about requestDispatcher being another approach for inter-servlet delegation; the only issue that i recall with this approach is that it defaults the method of the destination servlet to the one it was called from...for example, calling servlet2 from within servlet1.post() resulted in the dispatcher attempting to utilize servlet2.post() - i believe that i searched for a parameterize solution to no avail :( (ended up handling the request by placing a "fake" doPost() in servlet2 that simply called servlet2.doGet())
however, if your application is functioning correctly on your pc/webserver then the problem may be external to servlet communication (e.g. client webserver's ports not configured or blocked, missing runtime classes, etc.)
my suggestion would be to set aside the programmatic concerns for the moment - what is the response if you open a browser on a client's machine and access the URL in question (i.e. http://clientserver:port/stefanoServlet)? If it will not respond to access in this manner then it certainly won't when your application calls for it.
It's possible that there is a coding error but, given the info supplied, i'd start examining the environment, first. Let us know if you have any luck with the test i recommended or not (please provide abundant detail). Or, if you've found the solution then you may want to post back with a quick blub so the next person knows how to escape the trap.

Calling a Servlet from a JSP within Portal Portlet

We've created a JSP that calls a Servlet when the form is submitted. The servlet handles the request, does some basic processing and then forwards back to a JSP. This works fine outside of Portal.
What needs to be done in order for this to work within a portlet in Portal? We can get to the first JSP which is in a portlet, but as soon as we click the submit button (which tries to call the servlet) we get the basic page not found error. We need to click the button, go to the servlet and have the servlet forward back to our portlet.
I know this is not the ideal way of using Portal however...
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I was wondering is there any way I can call a servlet from jsp? There are two scenarios here
1 - if the jsp is currently being executed/evaluated on the server, then you can use <jsp:include> to "call" a servlet, or <jsp:forward> to cancel the jsp and transfer the control to the servlet.
2 - if the page is already loaded and running in the client, then the only way to call a servlet is making a HTTP request as from any other html page. Jave code does not execute on the client, so you have to use html/javascript at that point.
Calling a servlet within another servlet.
lets say one servlet maintains all dynamic html. I call this servlet from another servlet to create a dynamic page and then insert values into it.Close, but the standard pattern is the reverse of that. What normally happens is you retrieve the values to put in the page, and then call the page, passing in those values. Thats why often you get a servlet/actionbean getting called, which then forwards to a JSP to display the result. The servlet/bean loads all the values required into scope, and then the JSP presents the data.

Calling a report from another report

Hi,
Is there any way ,(any built in ) to call a report from another report in Report Builder 2000 and Report Builder 6i.
Regards

Try to call report from report by a button in the calling report:
1     In the Layout Model view, click in the tool palette. Note
2     Click and drag a rectangle.
3     Double-click the button object to display the Property Palette.
4     Under the Button Label node, set the Label Type property to either Text or Icon:
n     If the button label is text, set the Text property to the text you want to appear on the button.
n     If the button label is an icon, set the Icon Name property to the name of the file containing the icon (the file must reside in the directory specified by the UI_ICON environment variable).
5     Under the Button Behavior node, set the Type property to PL/SQL.
6     Double-click the PL/SQL Trigger property value field.
7     In the PL/SQL Editor, define the PL/SQL for the action trigger or format trigger when the button is clicked in the formatted report.
8     Set other properties as desired.
9     To activate the button, run the report, then display it in the Runtime Previewer.
